Digging the Sunday Morning

It was always nice to wake up in the morning not having to rush for the ward round. And since we were at the apartment for the week, the drive to the hospital would only take me 10 minutes. I was able to chill out and take my time.

And this was despite being woken for an admission at 6 in the morning. The case could wait, and I had breakfast and enjoyed my morning shower before setting off.

Better enjoy it while it lasted. On call tomorrow ...

Wash Well Big Boy

After a couple of weeks without a shower and all the traveling, my car needs some loving. Even though we took to van to Penang, the car was left in the car park at the apartment, semi-abandoned.

Poor boy.

So, right after the ward round this morning, I spotted that the car wash was empty and swiftly did the trick. Wash well Big Boy!

Not My Kind of Sunday

After watching the Dutch getting the upper hand against Spain, I was full of optimism waiting for the England-Italy kick-off.

England wanted to inject pace to the game early doors, but Italy as the usually do, played at Pirlo-pace.

A dummy, a shimmy and a shot, and Italy was one nil up. England did not sit still and the old adage of teams being most vulnerable to concede when they had just scored applied here. Within a couple of minutes, Sturridge was at the end of Rooney's cross to bring the score level.

The scored stood tied until the break.

Then Italy got the upper hand. Ballotelli. Why always him?

England couldn't find a reply after this although I must say compared to the previous years, they played with more enthusiasm. They just lack the know-how at the final third. Their shoot-on-sight tactic did create a few problems for the Italian defence who were shaky at times, but they could do with a world-beating midfielder, somebody with a knack for the killer pass. Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Veron or even A Scholsey would do nicely.

Now to look forward to the next group game and come through from there ...

About Time

It must have been about a month since the car hit the wash. Finally, after the Sunday ward round, I had a chance to stop by a car wash near the hospital.

The last time I got it cleaned, it promptly rained soon after. All the polishing gone to waste.

It looked overcast again this afternoon .... Not promising ...

Gonna be Hectic

I was bracing myself over the weekend for the expected onslaught next week. One of my colleague would be away the whole week and i would have to cover his work to add to my call next Thursday. Hopefully there were no unexpected headache on my way.

The last couple of days had been nice and easy. I was able to unwind and chill. My mother-in-law's maid returned to Indonesia on Saturday, so things were hectic back home. Our maid had to do the extra work, and Anita of course.

I might have to stay at the apartment at some stage looking at my schedule. Anita and the boys might not be able to come along should I had to go over since the boys had plenty of school projects to complete.

Might as well enjoy the lull before the storm. It was definitely coming by tomorrow. Cheers ....
